News Simon Lloyd replaces Hocking as GM football ops

Phew, good thing he's starting the role at the end of the season. Considering he coached last week's win vs Sydney, and coached all the matches which we won this season. Would've been a big loss if he stopped coaching this week and Chris Scott had to go back into the coaching role

Seriously though great news for Simon and the club!

 

[Catman]

So a new Director of Coaching at the end of the year or will that role be discontinued? I guess that's up for Simon to decide.

 

[leorex]

maybe they just created the Director of Coaching position to get him over to Geelong

seems to be an incredibly credentialed person.
He surpassed some at the club who have been there longer

 

[Munich]

He looks nothing like his bro.

Geez.

 

[Nickoo]

I called this when it was first announced that Steve was off to headquarters.

Hard to know how he is, but better than Lethlean which some suggested.

Hope they use the saved salary to bring in at least one new assistant coach.

I could have sworn he was coaching the Richmond game

full-time ruck coach?

full-time ruck coach?

Be more interested in another development coach, but more broadly think an injection of ideas from external to Geelong (or guys coached by Leigh Matthews) could be handy.

Haven't we been there, done that?

Scott
Caracalla
Lappin
O'Bree
T.Selwood

I'd be keen to move on to the next big thing which, as much as it pains me, is Hawthorn. Hope we get Hodge as rumoured.

Would love to get his brother over as forward coach next year.

Yes they are.

I suspect you and thejester are at cross purposes here, I think he's saying we've had enough of them.

"ESSENDON champion Matthew Lloyd says his brother Simon, currently an assistant at Fremantle, would love to be an AFL coach." Interesting from Matthew on his brother back in mid 2015.

Oh yeah?

 

[Will_I_Am]

Oh yeah?

Except not.. clearly related.. PS, i'm pretty happy with the appointment, will be interesting to see what replacing or shuffling around of resources they'll do.

 

[Catdog]

So happy with his appointment.

Very smart man with a great footy brain, great move by the club.

Down to earth and has time for the fans.

That makes much more sense.
